Places Offering Free Housing For Families Fleeing Hurricane Florence

One of the last things that we ever want to face is a natural disaster that would make us flee our homes. It's scary to think about and can cause even more panic to actually need to plan for. With Hurricane Florance expecting to not only bring strong winds but extreme floods to the Carolinas, many areas have been under a mandatory evacuation, causing many locals to seek shelter. The storm is expected to hit land on September 13th or 14th.

If you live in one of the affected areas or have family and friends there, many are probably searching frantically for a place to bring themselves and all of their belongings. Fortunately, there are some wonderful establishments that are helping people out with either discounted or free lodging during this period of time. Here are the places where that will be available.

First, Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City is opening their doors to anyone who had been impacted by the storm and is also are invited to stay for free as long as rooms are available. The owner of this hotel is just asking that people show proof that they are from the areas impacted by the storm and they are free to stay.
